"Lord Qod of Hosts, bo with us yet. Lent we forget, leat we forget' The word fell on ear unheeding at the time, but they have been remem bered by many alnco that day. -. Few knew how near at hand waa the scourge of war. how soon waa to burst over Sooth Africa the grest storm which has ' brought sorrow to homo and hearth lo Kngland and on tb veldt, for the event of th last few years have caused many of us to pause, and wonder how much waa achieved by the bloodshed In South Africa, and ..whether thoro Is not leee - opening now for our-peopl yonder than formerly, and If wo do not find our selves at this time weighted with debt -and Impoverished by depressed trade. Nevertheless tho danger against which Kipling warned ua Is always present, the danger of that Imperial boaatfulne which haa.beea.lha. precursor of the downfall of all great nations. It came to Rome, It came to Germany, haa It come to England? That ts tho solemn .. question of tho hour. - Recently wo celebrated tho centenary of our greatest admiral, and it was im possible for any lover of history - to fail . to grasp the qual It lea which went to ' make UP' that great hero, and those more ahowy attribute which mark our mod , era heroes. Nelson truly knew what It - waa to '"endure hardness" a a patriot of a country which ho loved, 'and when - the sunshine touched th gray monument which stands In tho midst of Trafalgar " square. In brilliant light, when tb flag floated from the column, and th splen did motto Of th famous signal - was spelled out In bunting as a hundred years ago It floated On the 'sea, ' I could -not. but realise how. almost impossible It would be for the day to produce a man of the type of tho hero whose memory we were celebrating. ; .-.v "' Th absence of bombast waa a strik ing .feature of th ceremony. When Bishop Wellden, who was formerly' pri mate of India, standing high above th people, facing Gordon's statue, prayed . that th empire founded by the lives and by the .deaths of those who bad been .example of noble patriotism might x ' adorned with - Justice and mercy, , and consecrated to the jdlf fusion of. truth, liberty and righteousness, he struck the note which is In th mind of every sober thinking man and woman' at this hour. On th vaat concourse, of people! aasem- - bled beneath the Nelson monument, fell - the most absolute stillness. The pres ence cf the great dead seemed to be In their' midst, th flags Were lowered half mast, and Alexander Watson recited Rudyard Kipling's verses which I Tiave already quoted, and as he finished. th flags roe slowly, and th bogle rang out th reveille. Then -cam a sigh of relief as th national anthem boomed forth, . . . , : , ... It was to have been rung a a solo by . Robert Hilton, but tho feeling of th great multitude could no longer be re 1 strained, and th melody rolled out from all four corners of th great square, and upward and onward to th sky. - And thus the scene of national remej "TOMS arid ill laurel-covered column was one more left to stand pointing up wards, an over present memory- of th 1 dead hero. On the north base of the monument It waa truly touching to see the tribute- to th gallnnt ' sailors of Kranoe and Spain who. fell fighting at Trafalgar, tied with the French and Spanish colors, th Japanese, wreaths sent by th nation who had Just won the greatest modern naval victories, th lro mens floral anchors to th Immortal memory of Nelson, from the surviving eons and daughters of th officer who -. fought at Trafalgar, and so on until - the pile of emblems rose higher and higher, and past and present all Joined . nana in ooing mm nomage.

From his earliest year th boy's courage waa notable. A delicate lad, he waa obliged early to realls that toe ought to relieve his father or tne nuraen of his education, and when hla unci promised to provide for him he resolved to ao to sea. Bo frail was tne ooys con stitution that When th sturdy captain beam of .lt he exclaimed: "What ha poor little Horatio done that be, being so weak, should be sent to rough It at seat But let him come, and If a cannon ball take off his head he yim at least be provided for." And so In gloomy foreboding began th career which was to end with such undying glory. Man are the stories told of hla cour age a a midshipman, hi attack en a bear among th Icy chasm whn th tnr ni dense end a hundred Instances of that supreme coolness and disregard of danger which made him afterwards so great a commander and ao loved a friend. But In view of tho crowd that was assembled and th sound of th muslo and th eulogies whlcTrwere pro nounced, we were forcibly reminded that Nelson's victories were not won In order to aggrandize a country, the battles were not entered , into that he might gain more territory or more gold or more possessions. They were essentially battle of defense. . Nono Of us can realise what - was - th terror which posaeased this country when, th French threatened not only England' liberty, but England' very existence, and Nel son' 'victories not only saved our na tional freedom, but broke the fore of th most gigantic tyranny which over menaced civilisation.. Tb mixture of tenderness and strength which ha al ways been an attribute ot th great was never wanting. At th great Battle of the Nil Nelson showed. himself. In th midst of on 01 th most raging battles that ha ever taken place oh sea, a calm and kind and considerate as ho ever waa on Una At a time when tb great ' gun were opening from tb the French ship, when th shot waa whistling through the salla Lord Nelson passed a mldehlpmlt and asked hlra how ho relished th musket. Seeing th alarm on hla face he found time to pat his head and tell him how King Charles XII ran away from hi first shot, though he lived to be called "Tb Great" for hi bravery. . ' "I therefore," said Lord Nelson, "hope much' from you for th future." ' How th battle of th Nil ended, how the great vessel. Generous. lowered her trl-color ensign, haa now passed into history. Nelson waa only In hla 40th year when he went forth to hla last and greatest - victory. Trafalgar. In these day when w hear aa much of fitness for service, and when every little phy sical defect la ' counted against th chance of a man being able to do any service. It is 3wU . to remember that Lord Nelson In hla vaiioua engagement had lost on eye. on limb and . been severely wounded on th forehead, and thua maimed ho went to the laat and most decisive battle. Th terror of In- vaslon held the heart of England, vic tory must be complete.it England was to be saved.' "In half an hour," wrot Lord Nelson, we shall, be within can non ahot of th enemy, and at this point, anxious to give th other ships som word of encouragement, ho turned to Lieutenant Pasco and eald to that officer, "Make- thia signal: "England confide that every man shall do hi duty."' Tho lieutenant aaiuting said, "confide must be spelt, but expects la la th vocabulary." Iff.", Will laWfl Wfllgoai1 with a nod of approbation. And thus th well known. word went forth which have been associated for vr with hi name.' . : Nelson scorned all fear of death. HI officer watched blra pacing th quarter deck and wondered whether b could b persuaded to cover his stars, but none ventured to risk his displeasure audi- clently to ask hjjn to take precautions, and ao ablas with all th decorations he was th most conspicuous object on th Victory for th enemy's sharp shooters. and they were not alow to tax aavan- tan of thia. -for It was a sharp shooter In th top of th Redoubtable, SO feet above tho quarter-deck or in victory, wtutra Nelson waa '. pacing to and fro. who waa able to pick out th admiral with nertaintv and hla shot was ao true that It truck th epaulette on nia ion HUSBAND Th Independent girt 1 all right a long a ah 1 youpg and anjoya, having a good tlm. .j .

So, If you ar a girl with a practical turn of mind and dealr to marry, no matter how Impractical or vislonsry th Ideas are of th man to whom you ar talking, let hlra talk, . It amuses him.

The fact that you can make good bread or know how to sweep a room won't thrill a man half as much before marriage as It will to feel that you think he is th nicest and handsomest of his Bex.

Th procedure of the different dealers varle largely on minor detail. Som, for Instance, cover up the forged signa ture with a light coat of paint and ex port the canvases- as school, pieces; other prefer to leave thf signing. of ths picture to their American agents or customers.

' Like- Dr. Funk I have spent much time and thought in studying various phases of this phenomena. Vnltke Dr. Funk I no longer queatlon "whether or not the truth of splrltualiara has been demonstrated.. One experience of my.owa substan tiated lta positive truth to ma A woman of. good birth, aoclal posi tion and cultur called upon ma a few years ago. We possessed mutual friends, but had never before met. I had heard of the remarkable psychlo power - ot this lady, known only to her Intimate asaoclatea and never employed for gain, as she was born In affluence and bad married .a man of mean a. I mentioned what I had heard to- her and expressed wish ; for a test f My caller seemed em barf eased, 'and said: "I do not like to tamper with thl strange fore I hav poaaessed sine a child,-and my father nearly lost his mind ' investigating theae things. My husband is ; violently opposed - to the whole -matter and I rarely permit my self to give any exhibitions of my pow ers to any one. I con fee I do not understand my gifts and an a little afraid of them." However, attar som pruaion sh consented to oblige m. I waa living in a Nw Tork hotel at the time. . I seTit a bellboy to a lady whose children attended school and ob tained two slates. But we hsd no pen cils; and at my uggeatloa, th psychlo for tb first tlm tried to obtain mes sages on notepaper between two alates. With the paper I placed a morsel Of lead pencil about the sis of th end of a darning needle, a pencil so small that it would not hav been neid unaer tne finger . nail without, losing itself. I alone touched th paper, i aion touched th pencil, the paper bore the hotel mark and I took it from my desk with my own hands. o Th room waa brilliantly iigntao. After I placed th papr and pencil be tween the alates my caller bold two ends of th alatea in her handa and I held th other two. Almoat Instantly th closed slates wer Jerked and pulled as by aome violent force; and on the 'aonriTIB' un 111 hawk l ass ahsis gnonk In gs were distinctly audible. "! think the spirit friend ar already nere,-- I remarked. The laldy said in reply: "Oh. I do not know: I am not ready to say they are spirits; I do not know what they ar.".- . " A ah apok three loua rap. came on hr chair. - sna laugnea ana seaa: They ar contradicting me. A mo ment later raps cam on th slate; "That means a message," she remarked. "Examine the alate yourself. I do hot want to touch the materials. I want the test to be fair." - - - Upon the paper In a fine, spiaer-iige penmaribhlp, but perfectly legible, waa a most lander and motherly message bear ing the slgnatur of my husband's MARRYING Dy BEATRICE FAIRFAX 'A WOMAN has written asking my . advice regarding ber husband.

He knows quit well how she feels about it. -. But If sh Is kind and good to him, his remorse will b far mor keen than If she is cross. .
